Just when you think the RIAA and friends couldn’t become any more idiotic, incompetent, downright retarded, they go and out do themselves. The latest mad grab for money (and attempt to prop up their dying business model) is to use the US government to mandate that all cellphones be legally required to contain FM radio transmitters.

You know, the audacity of the RIAA/MPAA astounds me.

If job security is really what you’re after, Google is “the” place to be — specifically the Street View team.
